coil sleeves for embryon era games
« on: December 07, 2014, 03:09:25 PM »
What sleeves are used for flipper, drop target and pop bumper coils on my embryon please? Sizes would probably help the most so I can order some.

If you don't have a manual you can look here to check each coil http://mirror2.ipdb.org/files/783/Bally_1981_Embryon_Manual.pdf
Then check the coils here http://www.pinballmedic.net/coil_chart.html
Now you have the coil numbers you can check out suppliers and they should say what type/size coil sleeve comes with the coil.
Now you know the correct size sleeve you can order the quantity you want from whomever sells them.

Hi Rob,

These ones with the part number starting 03-7066 are all the same except for a small variance in the length.

http://www.rtbb.com.au/catalog/index.php?cPath=170_171&sort=2a&filter_id=15

I think the 03-7066-3 were the longer ones and the 03-7066-5 the shorter ones or it could be the other way around, I can't remember exactly.  I have a bit of an assortment of all of them. These will do the coils on your flippers, sling shots, pop bumpers and just about anything else in your embryon but they won't do the larger coils on any drop drop targets and if Embryon has them they won't do the small coils on the drop targets either.

I just buy long and cut them down to size... saves a lot of messing around

I'd do the same, just can't remember 100% which ones are the long ones. There really is hardly any difference in the length of them anyway.

Thanks guys. I didn't think about cutting them. I kinda measured the pops at 1-5/8 and I have 1-3/4's. Is this slight difference a problem to leave as is?

1 3/4 Are also called "Bally Standard" - These are the main coil sleeves used in the game.

"N Series" are for Drop Target assemblies.
